Abstract

This study aims to explore early warning indicators for psychological anxiety among college students. A questionnaire was administered to 215 university students, analyzing their emotional states, sleep quality, coping strategies for academic stress, social activities, dietary habits, physical health status, time management, and task management methods. The findings reveal that nearly 30% of respondents reported average or poor emotional states, with almost half experiencing mediocre sleep quality. Over 60% faced moderate to high levels of academic pressure. In terms of coping mechanisms, exercise and socializing with friends were the most common strategies; however, more than half opted to handle stress independently. Most students engaged in social activities for 5-8 hours per week, with significant variations in satisfaction levels. Sixty percent maintained a healthy and balanced diet, and the majority acknowledged that poor eating habits negatively impact mood and academic performance. Nearly 70% believed their physical health was good, yet the proportion of regular exercisers was slightly below two-thirds. Regarding time management, effectiveness ratings were generally low, with approximately 40% utilizing tools for managing time and tasks. Collectively, these results suggest that college students face considerable psychological pressures, with room for improvement in coping strategies, lifestyle habits, and time management. These factors could serve as early warning signs for anxiety, offering insights for enhancing mental health education in higher education institutions.
